5th Trojka Iz Bloka Chicago

On Saturday, June 3, 2017, Serbs for Serbs USA hosted our 5th Annual Charity Three Point Tournament Trojka Iz Bloka in Lyons, IL. The tradition has been firmly set into place and each year the charity event gets bigger and better. This year, we had the special privilege of having Chicago Bulls forward Nikola Mirotic in attendance. The impact of Nikola’s attendance was felt immediately when a huge crowd of kids gathered around for autographs and photographs. Generously, he accommodated everyone who used the opportunity to meet him.

The event was started off brilliantly by Nikola Mirotic opening the tournament as its first shooter and setting the pace with 13 points. The 1st round of competition saw 72 competitors trying to beat Mirotic’s score but only only, Pavle Cosic, can boast about topping an NBA players score.

After the first round was complete, while the judges were compiling the top 20 who will move to the Quarter Finals, we had a special performance by Aleks Chicago. Aleks debuted his new song “Putevi Raja”, featuring Melita, for the first time at our charity tournament. Shortly after Aleks’ performance, the quarter finals were under way.

There were plenty of returning champions and top finishers from previous years, but this year, the Crown went to NIKOLAJOSIPOVIC!!! Nikola has won second place previously in Chicago and New York and fourth place in Mladenovac, Serbia. We’re very glad he is persistent and came back again to claim his new crown. Second Place went to newcomer GABE EGERT and the Third Place finisher was last year’s champion NIKOLABOROJEVIC. Thank you to all of our competitors, guests, friends and sponsors for making this year the most successful Trojka ever!! We raised $20,018 all together and had a great time doing it!
